I was working with the local LP for a while there before the last election cycle. I may be doing so again, if they can get their heads out of their a$$es on who to run and how. I'm tired of wasting money on horses that never come in.
My legal status could change rather quickly as well. Between all the terror alerts, and an increase in our local crime rates, I'm finding that traveling around the area feels awefully darn vulnerable without a pistola. Two rapists and a set of car jackers were brought down by the local PD within scant miles of my house in the last four months. This is supposed to be the "good" side of town as well.

Don't sell yourself short. Sure you might have joined for your own gain. But had it come down to it, I think you would have faced hopeless situations and gave it all, even your life, in defense of your country. That might win you a medal posthumously, but it wouldn't do much for your career. For that, you deserve thanks.
